BACKGROUND Spontaneous cessation of growth is a frequent finding in uterine fibroids. Increasing evidence suggests an important role of cellular senescence in this growth control. Deciphering the underlying mechanisms of growth control that can be expected not only to shed light on the biology of the tumors but also to identify novel therapeutic targets. METHODS We have analyzed uterine leiom...

Background . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly informative and safe method of examination during pregnancy, which helps to identify localize pathological changes in the uterus or placenta. Objective The goal study was develop universal topographic-anatomical segmentation pregnant using MRI (with possible comparison with bony landmarks) determine exact localization abnormalities place...

Extraction of nickel and its co-extraction with copper from ammoniacal media into emulsion liquid membrane systems (ELMs) was investigated using LIX 84I as the carrier. Measurement of the solute stripped in the internal phase of emulsion opened a new dimension in the study of the ELM extraction processes. The effect of operating parameters such as feed pH, initial feed concentration, and treat ...

We used immunohistochemistry to compare the expression of estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) in term myometria of 32 pregnant women divided in two groups. Group I comprised of 16 women in labor and group II included 16 non-laboring gravidas. We observed cytoplasmatic localization of both ER isoforms and no differences in the ER expression between the two groups of patients. The abundance and spec...

Our objective was to evaluate the role of echoplanar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in the assessment of response of uterine fibroids and myometrium to uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). We evaluated 32 fibroids in 11 patients treated with UFE. Treated lesions had low ADC values compared to untreated lesions. Furthermore, ADC values of the myomet...

A fundamental problem in developing therapeutic interventions for uterine dysfunction is that the electrical profile of the myometrium, and how it changes in physiological, let alone pathophysiological, situations is unknown. Excitation-contraction coupling of the myometrium is a central component of healthy functioning of the uterus. Even though proper function of this smooth muscle is fundame...

In this article, we discover and demonstrate the way of immunohistochemical identification extravillous cytotrophoblast in structures uteroplacental area myometrium, which can be used to study form placental insufficiency, morphogenesis key reason is a violation gestational changes spiral arteries uterus.

the point very well: there are synchronous and synchronized cultures. The former refers to a culture of cells at a similar stage in their life cycle as a result of selection, usually by size, from a heterogeneous population. A synchronized culture consists of cells whose life cycles are chronologically aligned because of some inducing stress, such as alternating periods of light and dark (for a...

Objective: We aim to simulate the uterine electrical at the myometrium level and at the skin level where it can be recorded non invasively. Material and methods: We use 2D models both at the myometrium scale and for the volume conductor. The multi-scale model has been implemented in Python, as a complete package including the needed tools. To speedup the slower step, we integrated parallel exec...
